On iPad, you can make onscreen elements—like controls, buttons, and the Control Center—easier to see by adding a border around them. You just turn on Show Borders. You can also customize visual accessibility settings for specific apps, and customize onscreen motion on iPad.

Start the Settings app on your iPad.
Tap Accessibility, then tap Display & Text Size.
Turn on Show Borders.
